The Mission of a Visionary<\/h3>\n

Established by The GRD Trust, Dr. G.R. Damodaran College of Science (Autonomous), has emerged as a fitting memorial to Prof. G.R.

Over a period of four decades from 1943, he dedicated himself to the cause of education especially in the fields of Science, Engineering, Technology and Management and had made unparalleled contributions to educational development both quantitatively and qualitatively while nurturing the PSG group of Institutions as outstanding centres of educational excellence in the Country. He made pioneering efforts for reorganizing and developing Technical and Management Education at the all India level, as the Chairman of several Committees and Boards constituted by the Government of India and, at the regional level, as Chairman of the Southern Regional Committee of the All India Council for Technical Education. During his tenure of the membership of the Lok Sabha and the Tamilnadu Legislative Council spanning over two decades and during his Vice-Chancellorship of the composite University of Madras, Prof. G.R. Damodaran served the cause of educational development at all levels with rare dedication, commitment and outstanding creativity.<\/p>\n
